 Warning! Many counterfeit audio cables are now appearing in the marketplace. Most are sold as used cables over the internet. The fakes shown here mimic Cardas cables, but we have seen counterfeits of other high end cable manufacturers. The first four photographs show a set of used, counterfeit Golden Reference Speaker cables a Cardas Distributor stopped one of his customers from purchasing. The extraordinary lengths to which this counterfeiter has gone, almost insures there are additional counterfeit Golden Reference Speaker cables being offered for sale. From external and internal comparisons between Cardas Golden Reference speaker cable and the counterfeit you can see the differences and similarities. All the counterfeit cables we have seen are of very poor quality and make no attempt to provide any sonic performance. These images show several counterfeit cables found on popular, audio web sites. When we find counterfeits, we request the site remove them, but it's a big internet and we won't catch them all. If you intend to buy used Cardas cables, first check them against the images in the Product Section of our site. Look at the cable's color, the markings, the connectors, the shrink tube, everything you can, to determine their authenticity. Check the rest of this Support section to see the changes we have made to our cable cosmetics and packaging over the years. If you have purchased cables and are not sure they are genuine Cardas, take them to your nearest Cardas Dealer or send them to us for Certification. (Click on images for additional information)
